sorry you had a diagnosis I had breast cancer in 2022 you will be ok it’s very doable you will shock yourself life goes back to normal sooner than you think I forget it ever happened on times 

good luck love Lara xx 

Thank you for replying.  Yes I feel a lot more positive now I have researched it and processed the information. I am trying not to catastrophise and to concentrate on the really positive treatment results these days. 

Thank you. It’s really helpful and reassuring to hear from others. Friday is when I go back for the results and it sounds weird but I cannot wait. The not knowing is awful. 
I wish your partner all the very best x

You are right, the waiting is awful. That’s why I am awake at 1am in the morning! Have breast cancer for the second time in nearly 5 years. Had biopsies, PET CT and MRI scan. Seeing consultant on 13th (my birthday) to get full results and plan. The waiting around is so stressful. Hope all goes well on Friday for you x

So sorry you have had a diagnosis and know exactly what you mean. Its terrifying despite knowing it is treatable at this point. I had my diagnosis 2 months and 2 days ago and had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 2 weeks ago. Waiting is by far the worst thing apart from hearing that you actually have it. I am now waiting for the pathology from surgery and to find out if I am to proceed with radiotherapy or if anything else is needed. It all sucks.

Good luck with it all and I agree with what DaisyMP said about journaling. That has been helping me a lot. I don't do it every day, but it is a good way to get things off your chest.

Hi Anna, 5 years ago I had lumpectomy, sentinel node biopsies then 15 sessions of radiotherapy.  Also had Anastrazole and Letrozole which made my joints ache. All went really well. Almost time to be discharged then back again, it’s like reliving everything Hope you get good results from the pathology and keep in touch x

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear your diagnosis. I'm 6 months past the initial bad news and about to have a third surgery. You will be okay...they have so many ways to treat it now. May I ask what your diagnosis was? Mine was a 17mm invasive ductal carcinoma with lymph nodes involved. Make sure you seek support from here and Breast Cancer Now or Macmillan. Good luck on your treatment pathway. X 

Thanks. My diagnosis is 23mm invasive ductal carcinoma  however lymph nodes are clear. 
surgery due beginning of June

Mine was 4cm and a 1cm invasive duct carcinomas. Still waiting to hear results on node biopsies. Thank you and good luck to all of you.
